Description

With k6 v0.41.0, some scripts that previously worked fine with millions of different time series will no longer be OK (https://github.com/grafana/k6/issues/2765).

We should add more warnings about that in the [Metrics](https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/metrics/) and [Tags and Groups](https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/tags-and-groups/) sections. Maybe polish a little bit the [URL grouping section](https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/http-requests/#url-grouping) and link it from more places, or move it to its own page? :thinking:

Research direction

Start with the Metrics and Tags and Groups documentation pages, then review the URL grouping section in the HTTP requests documentation. Add warnings explaining how to avoid generating too many time series and improve the relevant cross-links; done means the guidance is present and the proposed pages are clearer to readers.
